根據美國司法統計局2011~2012年間的統計,超過三分之一的跨女受刑人在過去一年內曾在男子監獄中遭受性侵,全體受刑人則為4%。 Data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) reveal that more than one third of transgender prisoners were sexually assaulted in the past year, whereas approximately 4 percent of all prisoners experienced sexual victimization (Beck, Berzofsky, Caspar, & Krebs, 2013).
根據加州統計,58.5%的跨女受刑人曾在男子監獄服刑時遭受性侵 In a study done in California prisons, researchers found that the prevalence rate for sexual assault of transgender prisoners was 58.5 percent during their incarceration history in California correctional facilities (Jenness, Sexton, & Sumner, 2011).
在監獄外,跨性別曾遭受性侵的比例是順性別女性的兩倍 In a nationally representative survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2012), 18.3 percent of women reported experiencing rape in their lifetime, as compared with 1.4 percent of men.
Another recent nationally representative survey yielded similar estimates, with 19.3 percent of women and 1.7 percent of men reporting having been raped during their lifetimes (Breiding et al., 2015).
The results of a recent study indicated that transgender respondents were twice as likely to experience sexual assault as those who are cisgender, with 33.6 percent of transgender respondents reporting sexual assault in their lifetimes (Langenderfer-Magruder, Walls, Kattari, Whitfield, & Ramos, 2016).
